Fantastic for birds-eye-view as a Board Member
Really helpful for me as a Board member to be able to see the progress and goal-setting of the organization while still having everything very organized and laid out by teams, goals, and stages. It helps me feel connected to the constant activity of all the teams, even though my direct contact with the organization is on a less frequent monthly or quarterly basis.
PROSAs a member of the Board of Directors for this organization, I am not involved with all of their procedures or activities on a day-to-day basis. Nevertheless, I like having a sense of where the organization is in relation to its big-picture goals at any given time. I also like being able to zoom in on smaller details of those goals if I want to. Mission Met is a great tool for letting me do this. The dashboard is a quick, big-picture view of what the main priorities are for any team, and then following the threads of those pages lets me see progress details that I might otherwise miss if it was scattered across different documents or folders.
CONSSometimes the fullness of the dashboard view is a little overwhelming; as mentioned, it is great to be able to zoom in and out of team or goal details, but this also makes it possible to get lost in the weeds of things that are not necessary for me to pay attention to. Maybe some way to tag or filter more efficiently based on topics or priorities would be helpful. To be fair, I don't use this software as much as other organization members, so it is very possible that those features are actually there and I just forget how to use them.
Vendor Response
Thank you Juan Miguel! It's great to have a board member's perspective. We will incorporate your feedback in limiting or filtering goals and/or action items based on a set of criteria to help board members, staff, and organizational leadership to be able to focus on the level of detail that each needs.

AN awesome Strategy management package
Mission Met has been a breath of fresh air in enabling me as a consultant to fully engage with my clients in their strategic planning and strategy execution aspects of their businesses. I use the product across a mix of sectors with all clients advocates and fans of both the deployment process and the functionality of the software. An awesome and easy to use system!
PROSThe ability to contextualise all elements within the package to suit the needs of individual clients.
CONSA more functional and visual Calendar and integration into Microsoft / Apple applications.
Reason for choosing Causey
A long term relationship and trust in [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] as its [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]and developer.

Thank you for your response, Mark. We're so happy to have you serving Australia with Mission Met Center. We'd welcome more feedback on the calendar concept and ways to better integrate with Microsoft/Apple apps.

Very helpful for staying focused
As an all volunteer organization, Mission Met has helped us to focus our efforts on the things that will be the most effective.
PROSEasy to use. Particularly like the reminder feature sent to project/task leads.

Excellent tool to focus your strategic plan
Using Mission Met software we have been able to launch, grow and sustain our program and position our business for future success.
PROSI like how the software is web-based so you don't have to go digging for a word doc somewhere. The software is incredibly easy to use and navigate - even for a first time user it is very intuitive. But most of all I like how the software has helped our organization focus our strategic planning efforts into a systematic process rather than simply creating a strategic plan.
CONSHonestly, none that i can think of at this time. I have seen the Mission Met software improve over the years and today it has all of the features that I need, and then some.
Reason for choosing Causey
We chose mission met for a variety of reasons, but primarily because of the full suite of support and strategic planning support options as well as the software to help us develop the plan and the experience of the company with working with non-profit institutions like ours. Mission Met is very easy and fun to work with. They make strategic planning fun and they take the pain out of the process of getting everyone on in the organization on the same page and moving in the same direction. Thank you Mission Met
Reasons for switching to Causey
We switched from doing strategic planning on MS office products because we found them easy to use, but hard to share, collaborate and simplify our strategic planning efforts. Mission met software just makes developing a strategic plan a breeze and helps us focus on what's in the plan to work on rather than just creating the plan.

Expert Support for Your Agency's Strategic Planning
My overall experience with Mission Met Center is extremely positive. At a glance, the strategic planning software shows me which strategic priorities are on a slow track, which ones are progressing and which ones are completed. It expertly assists our board to choose a clear path forward for our agency with a step by step process. When funders ask for our agency's Strategic Plan, I proudly print out a PDF copy and send it to them, confident of our efforts to meet the goals of our Mission as we move into the future.
PROSImmediately I liked the clear format, layout and design of the strategic planning software for Mission Met Center. The colors used in the software of different shades of blue combined with crisp black and white accents give it a pleasing and professional look. But more importantly, I am impressed how the strategic planning software outlines a dynamic presentation of our organization. The first section, Our Compass, introduces our agency's current strategic priorities, vision, mission and values. In the second section, Our Actions, the agency's 2021 Strategic Priorities are expanded and put into concrete steps with specific persons named as Champions and Team Members.
CONSThe strategic planning software of Mission Met Center is highly intuitive. But because I am not an experienced tech person, I found that I had to practice a few times until I felt comfortable using it. This experience of practicing is a normal part of learning and once I got the hang of it, I became confident and used it with ease.
Vendor Response
Thank you for your review Sr. Marguerite! We're so happy to play a small role in your success as an executive director and the significant work that Good Shepherd Gracenter does in helping women on their recovery journey.

Strong organizational and peformance tracking capabilities
It has helped create a more collaborative approach to planning and monitoring results working with multiple teams in different parts of the state.
PROSThe ability to set up a strategic plan outline with action items, and benchmark ongoing status is a strong asset to this program. It enables you at a glance to see projects' status, and address shortfalls. An additional benefit, particularly during the remote work aspect of the pandemic is the collaborative aspect. Team members can see and add to the status of their work across a shared platform.
CONSThere is a layer of 'added steps' that can be frustrating. You can not directly edit or change without going down an additional layer, e.g. Edit Notes. One's instinct is to click on an area, and have it go live - as in Google Docs, for example - so that changes can be made. Having to click on the edit function, wait for it to load, then save changes, can be cumbersome. In my opinion, it detracts from the software's productivity.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the review, Claudia! We will incorporate your feedback around speed of editing and user experience into our future product improvement plans. We are privileged to have you using our software and continue to improve the product based on your feedback.

Great Goal Organizational Software
I enjoyed using this software because it put the strategic plan in front of me and my board on a weekly basis so it was easy not to lose focus on what we were supposed to be doing.
PROSI liked the ability to break down the goals into subgoals and keep track of progress as well as include co-collaborators in the updates. The weekly reminders are very helpful.
CONSThis is super picky, but the software didn't allow me to add photos of my board members & Staff. Also, the intial e-mail to invite the board members or staff seemed to confuse them, or they just ignored it.
Reason for choosing Causey
It came with training and one on one problem-solving. Also, the person that recommended it is someone in the industry that I trust and have trained with previously. The team was quick to respond to questions (This was not a factor in the decision, but it is relevant to the overall review)
Vendor Response
Anne, thank you so much for your review. We will take your feedback about onboarding board members, and see what we can do to improve for future iterations of the software. We so appreciate the Kaufman Chamber of Commerce using the software and hope you got a lot out of the cohort program with Eric Ryan and Kyle Sexton.

Strategic Planning Tool
Experience with software tool and consultant [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been outstanding. This is great software that is well worth the investment. The ROI is tangible.
PROSEasy to translate thoughts, ideas and materials to software tool. The ability to collaborate in both real-time as well as offline; Communication tool for team; ease of identifying responsibilities and accountabilities.
CONSWould love as administrator to receive report when team members have not responded to invitations as well as report on how often individuals touch the tool. Also as administrator I would opt-in to a feature to receive notifications about usage.
Reason for choosing Causey

Highly Functional Strategic Planning Tracking Tool
Our Foundation was referred by another organization who was using the software. We got a demonstration and immediately started using it. The weekly reminders are so beneficial since it is very important to stay on top of reaching our strategic goals. I use it to provide my leadership report at our quarterly meetings.
PROSThe software allowed us to easily replicate the previous strategic planning goals to the newly revised plan. This saved both time and labor. We can now use time at our board meetings to get quick updates on the various goals or update them in real time.
CONSThere really wasn't much to dislike with the software. It was easy to use and actually I didn't have to provide our other board members with instructions on how to use it they just jumped in once I allowed access. I did need a little support when I was trying to add all the board members to their various strategic goals. Also 2 of our board members have the same initials so I couldn't figure out how to change one of the members initials so that we could distinguish which member was added.

Goal oriented leadership
- Goals are all in one place. I can go to this software for the org-wide goals, my goals, the goals of the person I manage. - The software makes it easy to set clear goals, with a key word bolded, detailed description, clear dates, champions, etc. - The color rating for progress makes for really easy and positive conversations each month with my manager as well as with the person I manage. The format helps fuel a productive and positive conversation rather than a putative one. -Overall, it is just simple, with the right amount of personalization, which keeps the focus on the goals and the conversations, not on dealing with a complicated system. - [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the team are supportive and great to work with!

Revolutionized our strategic planning
We converted from a cumbersome, hard-copy strategic planning environment to an online process that almost exactly coincided with pandemic-related remote work. The ease with which we collaborate and communicate has increased exponentially due to the software platform, and the transition was well-received by our team. The investment of time and money is nominal compared to the phenomenal rate of return (buy-in by the team, organization, increased ease of updating the plan, etc.)
PROSAbility to expand/collapse view allows for ease navigation between sections. Also, being able to link documents or websites allows for easy reference.
